2.1 Backup

You might easily overlook the backup app, but once you use it, you'll discover just how powerful and useful it is. Find the Backup app on your home screen.

Your phone will back up differently depending on the type of data you want to back up. If the data includes   Contacts ,  Messaging , or   Call log , the system will prompt you to set a password.

After this is complete, touch   Next   to begin backup.

 

2.2 Restore

Once you have simply and easily backed up your data, how do you restore it? As before, go into the   Backup   app, touch  Restore   , choose the source of the data to be restored, and touch   Next

 

If you have set a password for your backup data, when you restore your data you will need to enter your password and then touch   OK   to access the   Select data   screen. If you did not set a password when you backed up your data, you will access the  Select data   screen directly. Select the data to be restored and then touch   Start restoration .

 

After you touch   Start restoration   , a   Select data   dialog box will pop up. You can choose a location to restore your backed up data from   Videos   , Photos   ,   Audio   , and other locations. Once you have made your choice, touch   OK   to begin restoration.

 

In this way, you can easily and quickly complete data backup and restoration.

Different phone brands may use different formats during backup, leading to unsuccessful backup and restoration. Please check your phone.
